Maps Update Rollout, March 2026, Staged

Guys, read the OP.

“If you country/place on the list below but you cannot see an update - wait for the next mobile app update”

@Stavrogin All US is done, you need an app update that will likely come soon. I was able to test the updates and I am quite impressed with them. I hope other users will be as well.

I was able to update my US maps by deleting and re-adding them. However, they do not look too great on my V1. Contour lines are completely gone on all map styles at all zoom levels. And there is some strange behavior in the amount of detail shown when zooming out. Some tiles load more details than others. You can see in the image below that at the 5 km zoom level, the upper left tile still shows all of the available street data, while the other quadrants show almost nothing. Zooming in and out changes the amount of detail, but not consistently across all tiles. This is after a soft reset to clear any old cached map data. Maybe the upcoming watch software update will correct this??

On a bright note, two and a half years of my OSM contributions are now shown!

@duffman19 does it reproduce if you reset watch again and open map? Can you share the location with me?

duffman19

@pavel.samokha I’ve reset the watch 2 or 3 times and it is the same. It looks to be an issue with areas that have been micro-mapped in OSM (every house, sidewalk, driveway, tree, etc.) as if it’s information overload for the watch. I’ll PM you my location.

My software version is 3.8.1. Türkiye is listed, but no update has arrived. I guess I need to wait for the next version.

I think this updates going to take a bit of patience. Roll out doesn’t seem to be immediate everywhere. Suunto makes us all more patient

I was a bit confused during one of my activities.

Seems that some details that were visible on the watch previously are not visible anymore. For example this oval “track”. It is not available on the watch, but it’s visible in the iOS app. Shouldn’t it be the same?

@Squirrel it seems like in watch we doesn’t properly handle running tracks I will note that

Squirrel

@pavel.samokha That’s what I thought when I briefly looked at OSM. The oval is leisure=track which is correct tagging for a running track. It is important to render them in the maps including watch map. Thanks for reporting it.
Another thing is peaks. I don’t have a new upcoming firmware, (still on 2.50.26) but new maps have no peaks. It would be helpful to have a point indicating a peak. Either with an elevation, like in routeplanner.suunto.com, or just a small triangle. Unless map data is rendered differently in upcoming Q1 firmware that will address that, among other things.

Not for me.

@HonzaS update is staged, so maybe you need to wait for your turn. if it’s region based, then it makes sense as i’m not Czechia based

Just shy of 12 hours to update the UK on fast Wifi!

Offline Maps update is done. Now the whole world maps have been updated to the latest version.

There are known issues, they are listed in the starter post.

If you don’t see updates for your maps you may need to check your mobile app to have the latest version or wait for it.

Also keep in mind that you don’t have to update all your maps. We know that update can be slow, so updating just the map you need know can be a good strategy. Also don’t forget to put your watch on charger, and give it a night to download the update.

Thanks
